Abstract
Packet loss mitigation may be provided. First, queue control data may be sent to a first container and then a route may be stalled after sending the queue control data. The route may correspond to a data path that leads to the first container. Next, modified queue control data may be received from the first container and the first container may be deleted safely with empty queues, preventing packet loss in response to receiving the modified queue control data.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- sending queue control data to a first container;
- stalling a route after sending the queue control data, the route corresponding to a data path that leads to the first container;
- receiving modified queue control data, wherein the queue control data is modified by swapping a source address and a destination address in the queue control data;
- deleting, in response to receiving the modified queue control data, the first container;
- changing, in response to receiving the modified queue control data, the route from the data path that leads to the first container to another route for another data path that leads to a second container;
- and
- un-stalling the route in response to changing the route.

A method comprising:
- receiving queue control data;
- operating on first data extracted from the received queue control data;
- modifying the received queue control data, wherein modifying the received queue control data comprises swapping a source address and a destination address in the received queue control data;
- transmitting, when the operated on first data is equal to a predetermined value, the modified queue control data;
- changing, in response to receiving the modified queue control data, the route from the data path that leads to the first container to another route for another data path that leads to a second container;
- and
- un-stalling the route in response to changing the route.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- send queue control data to a first container;
- stall a route after sending the queue control data, the route corresponding to a data path that leads to the first container;
- receive modified queue control data;
- and
- delete, in response to receiving the modified queue control data, the first container;
- change, in response to receiving the modified queue control data, the route from the data path that leads to the first container to another route for another data path that leads to a second container;
- and
- un-stall the route in response to changing the route.
